    Do we know what the theory was that led people to think otherwise?

    Seems to me we don't really need this, but maybe there's a reason.


The reasons given were:

 1. https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5863#section-4.1
 2. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6376#section-7.5
 3. Neither RFC 7489 nor DMARCbis contain the phrase "CNAME", so if
    it's not explicitly mentioned...

Granted, the first two citations are in regards to DKIM records, not DMARC records, but those were the reasons given.

Couldn't hurt to clarify explicitly, I'm for it. Domain owners have been using CNAMEs with DMARC TXT RRs pretty much since its inception.
